Saint was a bishop in the years of Emperor Diocletian (284 – 305 AD), who on 23 January 303 signed a decree of ruthless persecution against Christians. At that time, the first one to confess Christ Crucifixed and controlled Diocletian for his error was Bishop Theopeptus. Sure, right after he knew what was waiting for him. And indeed, he is subjected to a series of cruel tortures, accompanied by miracles. First they put him in an oven lit to burn, but miraculously he comes out alive and harmless. Then, one eye is removed and, immediately thereafter, he is forced to drink deadly poisons. But because he was kept from God’s grace harmless, he is beheaded. But the bravery, the unspoiled Faith, the fine stewardship, and the moral glamour that lit up the face of the witness The fifth, they spoke convincingly and victoriously in the heart of the pagan magician Theon, who prepared the drugs. And while still the bloodstained head of the witness was earth wide, he also confessed Christ. Mandated then the pagans from this unexpected confession bury him alive in the dust. Thus Theonas found a glorious death and his soul along with that of Saint Theopeptus, ascended to the athlete and crowning God.
